I have looked into this bug a bit more. For some reason, the Ubuntu package has hard-coded Jack as the default sound output instead of the default, which is auto-detection. Since Jack isn't running on your computer, this causes playback to fail.
If you change the command above to: espeak -w foo.wav 'Ubuntu' && mhwaveedit --driver alsa foo.wav it should work (it does for me at least). -- "file is not supported for playing" should give guidance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/413759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
